Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a mobile part with at least one attachment module arranged on the mobile part.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
German Patent Document No. 21 59 082 describes a driveless wheel-mounting jack that is able to be moved by an operator.
In certain conventional systems, mobile parts arranged as driverless transport systems can be used in a plant for internal transport purposes.
SUMMARY
Example embodiments of the present invention improve automation in the motor vehicle industry.
According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a mobile part includes at least one attachment module arranged, e.g., mounted, on the mobile part. The attachment module has a base plate and a wheel holding unit. A first linear axle is situated on the base plate, and a second linear axle is situated so as to be movable by the first linear axle. The wheel holding unit is situated so as to be movable via a third linear axle, which is situated so as to be movable by the second linear axle. Each of the linear axles has a non-vanishing angle with respect to each of the other linear axles, in particular a right angle.
This has the advantage that the mobile part transports the wheel from the warehouse and a precise positioning is possible in addition. Thus, the mobile part has to carry out only a positioning down to a centimeter, and a positioning down to a millimeter is able to be performed by operating the linear axles.
According to example embodiments, the respective linear axle is arranged as a linear guide or as a linear actuator, e.g., a linear motor. This has the advantage that a fully automatic fine positioning is able to be carried out. The screw-fitting of the screw nuts for fastening the wheel to the shaft flange part is therefore able to be carried out by a robot, which uses a suitable screwdriver instead of a laborer.
According to example embodiments, the base plate is connected to the undercarriage of the mobile part, the base plate, e.g., being connected to the upper side of the undercarriage, e.g., connected with the aid of screws. This has the advantage that a simple but secure accommodation of the attachment module on the upper side of the undercarriage of the mobile part is possible.
According to example embodiments, a linear axle or a plurality of linear axles is able to be locked in position, e.g., with the aid of a single locking pin. This has the advantage of providing greater safety. As a result, an accidental disengagement of the wheel while the mobile part is in motion is able to be prevented.
According to example embodiments, the wheel holding unit has a, e.g., concave holding area for a wheel. This has the advantage that self-centering is achievable.
According to example embodiments, the holding area has a concave configuration. This offers the advantage that the wheel is supported in a self-centering manner.
According to example embodiments, the holding area has rollers so that the wheel accommodated in the holding area is rotatable about its wheel axle substantially without force as long as the wheel is not screwed to a shaft part of a motor vehicle. This has the advantage that the wheel is not only accommodated in the concave holding area in a self-centering manner but is also rotatable.
According to example embodiments, on the side of the wheel holding part facing away from the third linear axle, a restricting part restricts the wheel that is accommodated in the holding area, e.g., in the axial direction, that is to say, in the direction of the wheel axle. This is considered advantageous insofar as the wheel is prevented from dropping off.
According to example embodiments, on its underside the mobile part has a secondary winding for the contactless transmission of electric power from a long primary conductor installed on the floor, i.e., on the movement plane, to the secondary winding. This has the advantage of allowing for a contactless transmission of electrical energy.
According to example embodiments, the mobile part has a control by which a steering assembly and a drive of the mobile part are controllable. This has the advantage that the mobile part is able to be used as an automatically controlled vehicle or as a driverless transport system.
According to example embodiments, a handle bar is firmly connected to the wheel holding part. This has the advantage that a simple and secure positioning is implementable.
According to example embodiments, one of the linear axles, e.g., the third linear axle, functions as a lifting device for the wheel holding unit, and the lifting device includes a counterweight so that the positioning of the wheel holding unit is substantially possible without exerting force. This is considered advantageous insofar as a force-free positioning is possible and thus only frictional forces but no gravitational forces have to be overcome.
According to an example embodiment of the present invention, in a method for installing a wheel on a motor vehicle with the aid of a mobile part, the mobile part transports a wheel that is accommodated in a wheel holding unit of the attachment module to the installation region. In the installation region, the wheel is installed on the motor vehicle, e.g., on a shaft flange part of the motor vehicle: in that a locking mechanism, e.g., a locking pin, is first released, in that the wheel is then shifted in a force-free manner to a position in which the wheel is aligned with the axis of rotation of a shaft flange part, and in that the wheel is finally installed on the shaft flange part, e.g., with the aid of screw nuts and screws.
This has the advantage that the wheel is able to be brought from the warehouse in an automated manner and brought into the installation position without the use of force.
According to example embodiments, the locking is monitored by a sensor and the further driving of the mobile part takes place as a function of the signal from the sensor. This has the advantage of further improving the safety.
Further features and aspects of example embodiments of the present invention are described in greater detail below with reference to the appended schematic Figures.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of two attachment modules according to an example embodiment of the present invention for an intralogistics mobile part.
FIG. 2 is a schematic partial cross-sectional perspective view of the attachment modules from a different point of view.
FIG. 3 schematically illustrates an enlarged portion of FIG. 2 .
FIG. 4 schematically illustrates shows the attachment modules in a different position.
 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
As schematically illustrated in the Figures, the two attachment modules have the same configuration and are thus identical.
A mobile part accommodates the attachment modules on its upper side.
The mobile part has a drive, e.g., a traction drive, a steering assembly, an energy store, and a control. In addition, a secondary coil is situated on the underside of the mobile part, which is able to be inductively coupled with a long primary conductor installed on the floor into which an alternating current is impressed.
A capacitance is arranged in series or in parallel with the secondary coil so that the resonant frequency of the oscillating circuit created in this manner way is similar to the frequency of the alternating current. Thus, electrical power is able to be transmitted from the primary conductor to the mobile part with high efficiency even if the inductive coupling is weak and/or fluctuating.
From the oscillating circuit, the energy store is supplied via a rectifier and a DC/DC converter and/or charge controller.
The drive, e.g., an electric motor driving at least one wheel of the mobile part, as well as the control and steering assembly are supplied from the energy store.
The attachment modules, e.g., a respective base plate 1 of the individual attachment module, are mounted on the upper side of the mobile part in each case, e.g., using screws.
The mobile part performs transports within a plant. For instance, it drives into a warehouse where it is loaded with a wheel or a plurality of wheels.
A wheel, e.g., a wheel of a motor vehicle such as a passenger car, truck, etc., is accommodated on a wheel holding part 4 of the attachment module.
The mobile part then drives on its own, that is to say, automatically, to an installation position, e.g., along the primary conductor installed on the floor. The wheel holding part 4 together with the wheel is positioned there such that the axis of rotation of the wheel is aligned with a shaft flange, e.g., of the motor vehicle, and thus is able to be screwed to the shaft flange with the aid of screw nuts screwed onto threaded pins.
For the positioning, wheel holding part 4 is able to be moved relative to base plate 1 with the aid of three linear guides which are aligned perpendicular to one another in each case.
Base plate 1 is screwed to the upper side, e.g., of the undercarriage, of the mobile part with the aid of screws.
Base plate 1 has a groove in which first linear guide 6 is situated. The linear axle extends in parallel with the axle of the wheel.
First linear guide 6 has a guide vehicle which is linearly moveable in the groove. The guide vehicle has additional wheels on its side facing away from the base plate, which are linearly movable in a groove of a sliding plate. A second linear guide is obtained as a result.
The groove of sliding plate 2 has a perpendicular alignment to the groove of base plate 1.
Fixed in position on sliding plate 2 are support columns 3, which have a rope pulley 20 that guides a rope which at its first end is connected to wheel holding part 4 and at its other end to a counterweight.
The support columns have the third linear guide, which is aligned perpendicular to the first and perpendicular to the second linear guide. Because of the counterweight, a substantially force-free repositioning of wheel holding unit 4 together with an accommodated wheel is possible.
The support columns also prevent tilting of the mounted wheel, and a restricting part 5 on the side of wheel holding part 4 facing away from support columns 3 functions as a restriction and/or as a tilting protection.
After the wheel has been screwed to the shaft flange, wheel holding unit 4 is slightly lowered and then moved to its base position again. Locking is achieved by a locking pin, which locks and/or fixates the relative position of sliding plate 2 with regard to base plate 1.
A handle bar 10 by which the accommodated wheel is able to be positioned substantially without force is fixed in position on wheel holding part 4.
According to example embodiments, the linear guides are replaced by linear actuators, that is to say, electromagnetically driven linear motors.
